Home Made CNC Plasma Cutter
I thought I'd make a quick video about the Arduino based CNC Plasma cutter that I made in the farm workshop.
EM interference was a major issue however, to overcome this I;
Used shielded wiring
Installed a stainless steel water bed
Put ferrite magnets everywhere
Earthed everything I could
Major parts include;
Arduino UNO
CNC shield V3
1.9Nm Nema 23 Stepper motors (2.8A)
24V Power supply
DM542T Stepper driver
HIWIN HGH15 linear rail (A must have item for an accurate system in my opinion)
5V 1 channel Relay Module with Optocoupler (For on/off plasma arc)
"Tool Mate" Plasma clean from Hare and Forbes Machinery House
Software im using;
Arduino IDE for flashing the arduino
Fusion 360
Universal G-code sender

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. There are so many ways to do things without spending money, and they're very often equally if not more effective.
Raw and simple, aussie style.
I'm definitely interested because this is the final part of my project I've been working on for about 18 months now I need one of these tables desperately
first one I have seen with water cooling...awesome idea to solve major head ache of warping and torch height....well done
This is the first (water cooled) plasma i have seen and I love it it seems to keep things straight. I have seen a bunch of water tables but not a water hose like a bandsaw love it
when its done, it looks very simple, but its crazy how much you have to plan and think to make it as simple as it can get.
I dedicate myself to build cnc equipment and the truth is I did not think it was possible to use arduino in a plasma with so much MS ... I would appreciate that you show in more detail the connections you made! good job buddy!
best DIY cnc vid I've seen, thanks !
You made it look so simple. Good job putting it all together. Everything looks great.
beauty. Thanks for no MUSIC too! Those cuts are music to my ears.
This is a great build Thank you for posting!
Nice! :)
Très belle réalisation personnelle !
I like it..simply engineered is the best way. Like the water spraying on the metal as you go...i need to get mine finished
Thank you so much for sharing this amazing experience !!!
Great job, I have the same plasma cutter from H&F, Arduino sitting around and a few stepper motors, so now I am keen to give it a crack.
Great job! You have inspired me to make my own setup. Anybody that would give this video thumbs down has either,1failed miserably at trying to build one of these or 2 just plain and simple doesn't understand how technical this stuff is and how you got to have a pretty good mind to set this kind of a rig up.
when i first noticed you are one of us i knew it was going to work well, i suppose you are lucky as desk top computers were only being made when i left school so young people these days have a great advantage, we have a lot of excellent fabricators here in Aust but we don't seem to hear much in the commercial sales in engineering apart from boats and agriculture machinery.
Love it! I'd suggest changing cutting toot that it will be higher from the cutting surface and there will be no much water getting into rails
Awesome job on the plasma cutter. 👍🏻👍🏻
